Recently Mr 5.5 pulled a moldy lemon out of my trusty black handbag. To explain, I'm not completely disgusting, we have a lemon tree that attracts thieves, so I tend to grab the lemons if I see a yellow one and pop it in my bag. I obviously forgot about one... I had bought the Melly and Me
Raspberry Ripple pattern well over a year ago from
Patterns Only and so I decided not to put it off any longer. What do you think?
I added a couple of extra pockets and a key loop on the inside, but otherwise it is true to the pattern.
Don't you just love the black and white fabric? It's Dressforms in Black by Michael Miller. The red butterflies are another favourite of mine :)
You can find my review of this pattern
here at The Oz Material Girl's blog.
There should be a review of the pattern on The Oz Material Girls blog soon, but I just couldn't wait to share my new bag with you!
It's gorgeous! A key loop is a great idea! I need to remember to add one of those to the next bag I make!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cassandra! I'm forever losing my keys and it is so easy to make. I used snaps, but you could use press studs or even a loop with one of those dog clip things attached :) My bag is so pretty that I'm finding it hard to use LOL This one will not end up with a moldy lemon in it!
DeleteWhat a lovely bag! It's gorgeous!
DeleteThanks Pam! I look forward to making more once I get some more interfacing ;)
